I kept doing some other tests with this, specially regarding the speed.
And the speed problem doesn't seem to be from Brasero but from growisofs or wodim.
Easily tested by calling growisofs directly, there is no change in the speed.

Some external links refer a problem with how the buffer works and how it detects the available memory, but supposedly a fix for that was released not long ago. Still, even passing params to define a size for the buffer had little impact, i noticed a slight increase in speed.

Also i noticed a interesting report where someone stated that it might be using wrongly the burn-proof feature of the burners ending in poor quality burns and slowing down the process. Unfortunately all my DVD burners have burn-proof so it was impossible to try out with one without.
On the other hand I don't see growisofs outputting anything related to that, so I'm not sure if this can be a problem.
